I recently bought one of the Universal "Classic Monsters" discs, Dracula, and for some reason, the disc will not play in my Toshiba SD-1200...all I get is a "DISC ERROR" message.
Now, I've tried it on both of the 1200 models in the house--one was an older model, the other a newer one with a firmware upgrade--and got the same results. However, it played perfectly on my Cyberlink PowerDVD-ROM drive. (Wonderful DVD, by the way--love the supplements and Philip Glass' new score.)
I know Toshiba players have a reputation for not playing many discs, but out of the 230-plus DVD's I have, this is literally the only one where I've had a problem. So I wonder, will I have any problems with the remaining "Classic Monsters" movies, or was this just a bad pressing? I would really like to purchase the rest of the series, but I don't want to watch all of them on my computer screen.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
